Our squad is called the “H Squad.” We are 54 people deep and full of passion for being servants for the Kingdom! At training camp we were all divided up into teams of about 7 people. These teams are the people that we will be traveling with around the countries with. The entire H Squad will be united for debriefs but primarily we will be in community with our teams. Total there are 8 teams and my group is one out of two all girl teams. We are called the Gentle Warriors!!
We all chose this name since we felt that we are Warriors for God’s kingdom proclaiming His truth among nations but at the same time we embrace our feminine side that we are gentle women who want to serve the poor, the widows, the hungry and the weak. These verses in particular really spoke to us:
“Whatever town or village you enter,
search for some worthy person there and stay at his house until you
leave. As you enter the home, give it your greeting. If the home is
deserving, let your peace rest on it; if it is not, let your peace return to you. If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that home or town. I tell you the truth, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town. I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore, be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.” Matthew 10: 11-16
